    Over in the Jimmy Rustling thread you can see where I just cut the big cord (cancelled AT&T Uverse), and we're doing a "critical review" of the others. Amazon Prime we use for the shipping benefits and other stuff, so we'll still have Prime Video, Paramount+ we get for "free" with other...

    This may or may not be a main driver behind my new fun time side project of building a new media and "home server" multi purpose box that's going to , if I can get it all working right, have around 80TB of media space. Will run n8n, home assistant, Plex, TrueNAS, etc in one big ass box.

    And I'm willing to bet their sub numbers are about to slide hard with their biggest show wrapped up. What is the next "Stranger Things" in the Netflix bag of tricks? Adjacent to that would be the question of how high they think they can raise their sub costs before their original value prop of...

    Investing General Discussion

    In my case, this is the "sounding board" part of my process. I'm mostly doing a check on "I'm pretty sure this is the smart and easy play, but what do you guys know I might be missing". I ask that because I'll be the first to admit a lot of the folks posting in this thread obviously know a ton...

    Congrats on hitting that milestone sir! I see that happening for my wife and I in probably 2-3 years. But as discussed elsewhere for me I know it will mean finding something to downshift into to stay busy for a while, just not needing to do the full court press making money like I am right...

    Smartphones

    Wife and I are currently rolling Samsung S20 FEs. I've had to have one cracked glass replaced (random drop which landed flat on the one pebble in a parking lot...) and while they did it I had the replace the battery. Both are still doing everything we could need our phones to do, and I...

    The Video Thread

    Same crew has also put out Star Trek and other AI videos around this theme. My favorite so far was the Stargate SG-1 video... I can highly appreciate several things in that video.

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    It wasn't just the actors they wasted... They took two of the most intense Thor story lines (Jane Foster Thor and Gor the Godbutcher) which both could have been really good stories on their own, they then tried to combine them, handed it to someone who obviously wanted to make a Thor RomCom and...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    She is far more the Anime fan than I am. (Still need to finish Sakamoto Days) But also she worked in the import/distribution/retail side of Anime/Jpop/Manga/All things Japan long enough to have accumulated quite the library of everything she likes for the most part and barely watches it...

    Home Improvement

    My neighborhood was built in the 60's and still has the overhead power infrastructure to show for it. At least once a year we will have an outage for one reason or another lasting a couple/few days. To the point that when i recently got the electrical panel replaced (another long painful...
